Daixtrose is intended to be used by everyone and therefore published under the LGPL.

Though Daixtrose is published under this license it is planned to change the license to something less restrictive if the drawbacks of the LGPL, as recently discussed at www.boost.org, really inhibit the broad use of this library for commercial projects.

The decision about the final license model is postponed until boost developers took the decision about their own license or if the author obtains more clarity about this issue (You may help in this really nasty and political decision)

In order to avoid trouble for commercial users, every file of daixtrose is published under the LGPL with the following exception added (stolen from gcc-STL):

  • As a special exception, you may use this file as part of a free software library without restriction. Specifically, if other files instantiate templates or use macros or inline functions from this file, or you compile this file and link it with other files to produce an executable, this file does not by itself cause the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License. This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why the executable file might be covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License.
